DaVinci Sign Systems, Inc. Celebrates Five Consecutive Years of National Signage Awards

Don’t be fooled by the local, employee-owned image that DaVinci Sign Systems is known for.  This little company defies the odds year after year in terms of hauling in national signage awards and recognition of its company culture. 

For five years in a row, DaVinci has been the recipient of at least one First Place win in World Sign Associates’ Coolness Competition, which is announced each September after the national conference.  This year, the Coolness Award for the Under 100 Square Feet category was for DaVinci’s work on Wolf Creek Dairy of Windsor monument sign.  The original design for this masterpiece was RB+B Architects (rbbarchitects).

In addition, for the last three years in a row, the prestigious Signs of The Times award has gone to DaVinci.  This year, Kinston Centerra’s tiered monument and lanterns was the Outside Sign Shop Illuminated category winner.  The client was DTJ Design (dtjdesign.com) and the original designer was ArtHouse of Denver (arthousedenver.com).  All photos credited to Nic Rentfrow (nicrentfrow.com).

 When asked how DaVinci achieves these wins each year, President Eric Senesac replied, “I don’t think any national award comes easily; it is a careful mix of the design elements, the implementation of the design, and the perfect installation of the sign.  It takes everyone being consistently on top of their game, every single day.”
